Sunday is sound asleep...cuddling with her sock monkey under her fluffy blanket in her crib. Tommy is currently watching Seven Years in Tibet. The Christmas tree still sparkles and I am browsing the internet. Tomorrow we go back to the real world.

Tomorrow I have a session followed by packing for the most complicated trip of my life. In the next 10 days I will shoot three sessions and two weddings. I will celebrate Christmas with my family and say goodbye to my sister's family as they pack up and move to Colorado. I will fly to New Orleans and back again (with a toddler - on her first flight!). And I will hit up Trader Joe's on the way home.

I am feeling a weird sense of calm before the storm. I'm enjoying the last few minutes of our quiet Christmas at home. And when I wake up tomorrow I will dive into responsibility, creativity, and preparation.
